The Johnny Warren Challenge match kicked off at the Kiama Sports Centre last Sunday. The Earlwood and Kiama Under-8 beginner football players held a match at the home of the “The Quary” that will hopefully become an annual event to raise public awareness of Johnny Warren’s great legacy to the game of football.
Jamie Warren, representing the Warren family and Shane Douglas, President of Kiama Junior Football Club were on hand to start the match with some words from Jamie Warren about how Johnny Warren played with Earlwood Wanderers FC and the Canterbury Club in the State League.
Jamie Warren, presented a black and white photo of Johnny Warren playing against Joe Marston in the Canterbury area to Earlwood Wanderers FC representative and Coach, Theo Fotopoulos as part of building greater connection and bonds with Johnny’s history and background with a view of keeping his vision alive in football clubs around the country.
